        Well... sucker I may be, but I have skipping problems on my player
that seem to be related to how quietly the CD is spinning, i.e. whether
it's balanced or not. Whether it affects the sound I couldn't tell you -
if the little bugger's skipping LR&C the quality is difficult to assess.
        I don't think I'll be buying any rings though. Yours,
                                                              Jon
